UFC welterweight Leon Edwards had a very interesting night in London on Saturday as he picked up the biggest win of his career and potentially found out the identity of a future opponent post-fight.

Jorge Masvidal absolutely flattened Darren Till in the UFC London main-event after one of the best rounds you will see all year.

Despite talk of him riding off into the sunset with a huge wad of cash in his bag, Conor McGregor owes a debt to the Irish people that must be honoured. The year was 2013 and for most of those outside of the hardcores of the European MMA scene, the lanky, mohawk-sporting featherweight who walked out in the Ericsson Globe …

With Colby Covington supposedly the next in line for a crack at Kamaru Usman’s newly-won title, the winner of this matchup could well find himself on a collision course with the champion – whoever that may be …

Despite having spent over six years in the UFC, do not for one second make the mistake of thinking that Gunnar Nelson’s elite-level potential is by any means beyond him.
